I remember the saying "It's always DNS". I'm old.
Kind of mindboggling it's still sometimes DNS maybe.

#272The Internet is supposed to be decentralized. The big three seem to have all the power now (Amazon, Microsoft, and Google) plus Cloudflare/Oracle. How did we get here? Is it because of scale? Going to market in minutes by using someone else's computers instead of building out your own, like co-location or dedicated servers, like back in the day.

#274All of my employers things are hosted on Azure and running just fine and didn't go down at all. Portal access has been fixed. Doesn't seem to be too bad of an outage unless you were relying on Azure Front Door.
SSO is down, Azure Portal Down and more, seems like a major outage. Already a lot of services seem to be affected: banks, airlines, consumer apps, etc.
Both work for me in the Netherlands

I didn't realize AWS got a pass?
Have repeated outages lost them customers? has it lost them any money in any way? That is a pass.
Apologies, but this just reads like a low effort critique of big things.
To be clear, they should get criticism. They should be held liable for any damage they cause.
But that they remain the biggest cloud offering out there isn't something you'd expect to change from a few outages that, by most all evidence, potential replacements have, as well? More, a lot of the outages potential replacements have are often more global in nature.

#276pretty interesting how datadog's uptime tracker ( https://updog.ai/ ) says all the sites are fully available. if that's true then it's a sign that Azure's control / data plane separation is doing it's job! at least for now
Our Azure hosted dotnet App Service is working fine, but our docs site served via Front Door went down. Can’t access anything through the Portal.

I've been doing it since 1998 in my bedroom with a dual T1 (and on to real DCs later). While I've had some outages for sure it makes me feel better I am not that divergent in uptime in the long run vs big clouds.
Are you still on a dual T1? that's gotta be expensive
(and on to real DCs later) would imply their bare metal is now located in a data center.

#278Yeah just took down the prod site for one of our clients since we host the front-end out of their CDN. Just got wrapped up panic hosting it somewhere else for the past hour, very quickly reminds you about the pain of cookies...
Re: Tell HN: Azure outage
#279Some exec at Microsoft told the Azure guys to ape everything Amazon does and they took it literally.
Or, the NSA needed to upgrade their access at both.
Do Microsoft still say "If the government has a broader voluntary national security program to gather customer data, we don't participate in it" today (which PRISM proved very false), or are they at least acknowledging they're participating in whatever NSA has deployed today?

You'll have to find another planet.
Although judging by the available transports it will likely be colonized by nazis.
